The problem is that most of Trump's supporters think that 'making American great again' means taking us right back to the 1950s. Sure, on the surface of it, it was a great time (if you were white and male). The economy was booming, unemployment was at a low ebb for white men, people white men had opportunities, through the GI bill, of stepping out of the economic 'class' that they'd been born into through govt funded higher education. My own parents, married and raising us, enjoyed a secure lifestyle. Cheap mortgage payments on their home, 2 cars, Mum stayed home. Not rich, but certainly not the conditions known to their own parents during the Great Depression. But again, they were white. And the 1950s was a more 'paternal' era in that there was loyalty between employer and employee. Employment was more secure and employers offered pensions and job security. Certainly that is not true of employers today. And to expect it of employers of Trump's ilk is sheer folly. And Trump's supporters ignore the plight of minorities, the disabled, and women in the 1950s. Because minorities are either terrorists or taking our jobs and/or getting welfare. The disabled are 'lazy' or 'noncontributory', and women, well, we should just be grateful that men are willing to take the heavy burden of decision-making about our own bodies off our fragile shoulders.
For some reason, Trump's supporters think that Trump is taking a personal interest in giving them, individually, everything they ever wanted. Job security, a fat bank account, and steak three times a week. They are fools.
I don't know if you all are familiar with Charles Durning's character in Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, but I'll leave you with this anthem for a crooked politician
